  • Collected Recipes from the Beyond
    Collected Recipes From The Beyond SANJIV SINGH Version 4.3: A collection of original, adapted and plagiarized recipes. Dedication For my mother, the first cook I knew. Foreword The problem with the cooks I grew up with, like my mother for instance, is that they never wrote any of their craft down. So here I am looking for ways to cook the wonder- ful food I have been putting away for years and all these people can tell me is well, you add a “little” of this and wait till “that” happens and then serve. This collection then started through my efforts to write down some means of replicating what I would undoubtedly forget otherwise. From a small collection of Indian recipes, this has grown into a larger collection with a much more varied background. The recipes come from other cooks (many from a dinner cooperative at Carnegie Mel- lon that I am a member of), magazines, and from the Usenet. I have tampered with most to suit my own taste but a few are included exactly as I received them. Since I have really copied these recipes in one form or another, I have no sense of ownership of the recipes in this collection. Feel free to do with them as you like. This collection is the antithesis of the typical computer collection. There is no data- base program to do fancy things with. It is not even modular, doesn’t follow any stan- dard format to allow easy inclusion of other recipes. However, it is just what you want if you are not a nerd about your cooking.

  • Madhur Jaffrey Was an Actress First—She Still Is by Mayukh Sen • November 3, 2016
    Madhur Jaffrey Was an Actress First—She Still Is by Mayukh Sen • November 3, 2016 Madhur Jaffrey spent the morning mulling over whether to go to an audition. She languished during those hours reading a play in her Greenwich Village apartment. Should she have auditioned? She wasn’t sure. By the time we met later that afternoon, Jaffrey couldn’t even remember the name of the play. Just when she thought she had it, it escaped her. At first, she thought it was Still Life, but no—that was another Noël Coward play. It had been awhile since she’d done this. Today, in the British and American imaginary, Jaffrey has been cast in primary colors as the West's bellwether of Indian food: the “queen of curries,” “the global authority on Indian cuisine,” “the Julia Child of Indian Cookery.” (Her grandmotherly mien welcomes this. She is a short, unimposing woman who wears her hair in a mild frenzy of a bob; her face conveys biblical wisdom.) But she is, first and foremost, an actress. “I have always known myself as that,” she told me. “Acting is what I went to school for. But people don’t know me as anything but as a cookbook author.” Jaffrey, born in 1933 as Madhur Bahadur in the Delhi of British India, grew up watching movies since the age of three. Her father was an erudite, ardent cinephile who worked as the manager of a ghee factory. He raised her and her five siblings on a coleslaw of British, American, and Indian films, ranging from Laurence Olivier’s Henry V (1944) to the early films of Indian cinema’s first female stars, Devika Rani and Leela Chitnis.

  • SHRIMP in SPICY COCONUT SAUCE with BASMATI RICE with DILL and CARDAMOM Featured on August 11, 2017 for “Julia Child’S Kitchen Classroom” Demo
    SHRIMP IN SPICY COCONUT SAUCE WITH BASMATI RICE WITH DILL AND CARDAMOM Featured on August 11, 2017 for “Julia Child’s Kitchen Classroom” demo We all know Julia Child as a chef who mastered the art of French cooking and brought French culinary traditions into the home kitchens of American cooks. What we do not often focus on is Julia’s love of learning about other culinary traditions—ones far afield from the haute cuisine of France. In the 1990s, Julia hosted a television program called Cooking with Master Chefs where she highlighted a diverse array of chefs whose expertise often paired haute cuisine with global regional cuisines. On such chef was Madhur Jaffrey who made a name for herself by mastering the art of regional Indian cuisine and introducing it to American audiences. She published over 10 cookbooks and also starred on her own televised cooking program on the BBC. Madhur featured these recipes alongside Julia on Cooking with Master Chefs—sharing her history and the culinary traditions of India with a broad TV audience. SHRIMP IN SPICY COCONUT SAUCE Serves 6 Ingredients 2 tablespoons whole coriander seeds ¼ teaspoons whole fenugreek seeds 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns 2 tablespoons red paprika 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper ¾ teaspoon ground turmeric 5 medium shallots, thinly sliced across ½ red bell pepper 5 garlic cloves, peeled and cut into slivers 1 teaspoon peeled and grated fresh ginger 8-10 raw cashews 5 tablespoons canola oil 1 teaspoon whole brown mustard seeds 10 to 15 fresh curry leaves 1 3/4 cups water ¾ - 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon tamarind paste 3 fresh chilies, left whole 1 ¾ cups canned unsweetened coconut milk, preferably a Thai coconut milk 2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined Directions Heat a small cast-iron frying pan over moderate heat.

  • A CURRIED GAZE: the BRITISH OWNERSHIP of CURRY By
    A CURRIED GAZE: THE BRITISH OWNERSHIP OF CURRY by DARLENE MICHELLE WALDROP (Under the Direction of MICHAEL KWASS) ABSTRACT Curry as we understand it today is the result of over four hundred years of interaction between the British and the people living on the Indian subcontinent. At its core, curry is a British construction. It is an understanding of Indian cuisine as expressed by legions of Anglo- Indians since the seventeenth century. Furthermore, curry is one of the most successful symbols of the British Imperial endeavor in India. It is one example of the British success at taking something of the Other and making it part of the British self. INDEX WORDS: Curry, Anglo-Indian, Domesticity, Cookery, Imperialism A CURRIED GAZE: THE BRITISH OWNERSHIP OF CURRY by DARLENE MICHELLE WALDROP B.A., Kennesaw State University, 1999 A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of The University of Georgia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS ATHENS, GEORGIA 2007 © 2007 DARLENE MICHELLE WALDROP All Rights Reserved A CURRIED GAZE: THE BRITISH OWNERSHIP OF CURRY by DARLENE MICHELLE WALDROP Major Professor: Michael Kwass Committee: Laura Mason David Roberts Electronic Version Approved: Maureen Grasso Dean of the Graduate School The University of Georgia May 2007 iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This work is dedicated primarily to my husband Duane.

  • Curries, Chutneys and Imperial Britain
    Curries, Chutneys and Imperial Britain Terri Rolfson This paper examines the dynamic assimilation of Indian food into British culture, during the expansion, height and decolonization period of the British Empire. Cultural perceptions of The British Raj contributed to both the popularity and prevalence of Anglicized curries and chutneys in British cookery books and on British tables into the 20th century. Interest in Anglo-Indian food waned in popularity, coinciding with Indian independence and the transition from empire to commonwealth. The period of post-colonial immigration to Britain in the second half of the 20th century saw an embrace of new iterations of Anglo-Indian food, with more interest in authentic, regional Indian cuisines. This dynamic assimilation of Anglo-Indian cuisine into British culture mirrors Imperial Britain’s complicated and enduring four hundred year relationship with India. “Oh, I must try some, if it is an Indian dish,” said Miss Rebecca. “I am sure everything must be good that comes from there.” “Give Miss Sharp some curry, my dear,” said Mr. Sedley, laughing. Rebecca had never tasted the dish before. “Do you find it as good as everything else from India?” said Mr. Sedley. “Oh, excellent!” said Rebecca, who was suffering tortures with the cayenne pepper. (W.M. Thackeray, Vanity Fair, Vol 1, p 31) From Miss Becky Sharp’s surprising introduction to curry set in the early nineteenth century, to British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook’s proclamation in 2001 that Chicken Tikka Masala was Britain’s true national dish1, Indian cuisine has had an intimate, evolving and complicated expression in British culture and culinary experience, and has mirrored Britain’s imperial relationship with the Indian sub-continent.

  • Cooking up Stories
    COOKING UP STORIES I love cooking up stories (and I like to think I'm pretty good at it). I also like to cook (although I admit I'm pretty bad at it). To celebrate the joy I feel that THE BRIDGE HOME is a Global Read Aloud for 2019, I decided I'd take a shot at writing down a recipe for readers to try, so you can get a real taste of India. That said, I hope that as you prepare the dish below, you'll also be extra careful not to waste it unnecessarily - out of respect for children like Rukku, Muthu, Arul and Viji who have to work everyday so they can have something to eat, and who often don't get enough nutrition. You'll also find that after my instructions for preparing my favorite dessert, and links to recipes I found on the web for dishes mentioned in THE BRIDGE HOME and suggestions for cookbooks that I've enjoyed using, I've listed questions on the theme of food for you to ponder. I've also suggested some follow up activities you may want to get involved in in order to raise awareness of hunger, which is a global problem. As you may already know, it's not just in India that people - and children - go hungry. Even in my home state of Rhode Island, in the United States, which is considered a wealthy nation, there are children who don't get enough to eat. So go ahead - enjoy cooking - and discussing - and maybe taking action! Padma Venkatraman Author, The Bridge Home QUICK AND EASY SAFFRON YOGHURT Below is a recipe I wrote for a way to make my favorite Indian-ish dish.

  • Chicken Biryani
    Chicken Biryani Proper Biryanis do not have hot spice in them. Why, then, do most of the recipes out there in Internet-land toss in chillis of one colour or another?
